Happy Halloween.And Happy Birthday to my Dad.I’ve definitely been sidetracked from doing any sizable updates to the site. I installed Windows XP last weekend, and I’ve spent a lot of time getting used to it and personalizing it to my liking. I also discovered I had to download a big Java pack just to see the silly little LOTR countdown, below [since removed, following the release of Fellowship of the Ring]; so my apologies to anyone else who got caught by that — but then again, you’d probably have to install it somewhere down the line anyway.
The big reason I felt so compelled to write today, apart from trying to kill time at work, is because I spotted this link just now. Terry Brooks, author of the Shannara series and plagiarizer of all things Tolkien, has a new book out, with an unbelievably clumsy and inopportune title. Check out this Lycos link!
